It helps to get inputs from all participants which are used for further development of the topic. To get a spontaneous statement of each participant. To get different answers regarding a put question. Is the basis for many further developments like group work, discussions, problem tree development etc. Brainstorming

19. 5.1.2 Situative Planning 19 Procedure (1) Each participant gets one or a special number of cards (small groups up to three answers possible) and a pen. Explain the procedure how to work with cards and brainstorming method. Put the questions on the board Give a time reference and appoint someone to assist you.
